It is with great regret that we have decided to cancel the evening performance of the Christmas Concert, due to be held tomorrow, Tuesday 21 December. This decision has not been taken lightly and has been made due to the concerns about travel in the predicted below freezing conditions.
The 2 pm afternoon performance will be going ahead tomorrow. Evening tickets can be used for the afternoon performance, however we cannot guarantee that we will have space for all those who may wish to attend, it will be on a first come first serve basis. In the eventuality that evening ticket holders cannot attend/get a seat in the afternoon, a full refund will be available in January.
My apologies for the disappointment this will cause.

During the S5/6 Parents' Evening on Tuesday 14 December, there will be a Young Enterprise stall on display in the foyer area.
Our team is called ‘Pride of East Lothian’ and we aim to promote and supply the very best that East Lothian has to offer. Everything we sell has been sourced locally and is of the highest quality.
On this evening we will have our limited edition food package on sale for only £10. This is a fantastic last minute gift perfect for a small present this festive period. Alongside our food package we will also have bird feed, wild flower seeds and pot pourri on offer.

Below is the most recent transport update from East Lothian Council:
Route 157 - Morham & Garvald to Knox Academy
Will only pick up in Garvald and Baro due to road conditions on the rest of this route
Route 158 - Gifford to Knox Academy
Will only run from Gifford due to road conditions south of Gifford
Route 159 - Bolton & Letham to Knox Academy
Will hopefully operate as Normal, but there will be No pick up's at Merryhatton or Spittalrigg and none beyond Lennoxlove West Lodge due to road conditions and lack of turning space. Children at Barberfields and Letham Road End can use the 123 Service Bus.
Route 102 - Athelstaneford Primary
Will hopefully Operate as Normal except pick up in Drem will be at the side of the main road rather than round the Green
Route 118 - Longyester to Yester Primary
Will hopefully operate as normal apart from Snawdon Road End pick up due to Lack of turning area. This route is dependent on further gritting by East Lothian Council and it is doubtful we will be able to operate it
Route 119 - Morham to Yester Primary
Will hopefully Operate as Normal but will start from Coulston Mains Road End as the roads before this point are not safe enough.
Route 120 - Garvald to Yester Primary
Will hopefully Operate as Normal except there will be no pickups at Nunraw or Whittinghame Filter Station or Linkylea due to the Road conditions, and lack of turning space. The Garvald pick up will be at Garvald Mains Road End(West End of the Village) as this is the only available turning area
Route 163 - Wampray & Waughton to North Berwick High / Law Primary
Will hopefully operate as Normal apart from there will be no pickups at Bankhead, Stonelaws and Balgone Barns due to Road conditions and turning areas.
